THANK GOODNESS .. the WORLD is finally taking notice of the disgusting inhumane and criminal acts of the LNP Govt.

Seen News from outside Australia have you?. No? Why not, if you claim a right to comment. The camps are being described correctly, as PRISON CAMPS. THE DETAINEES are recognised as genuine refugees. THE UN has demanded this government takes HUMANE action in this matter. TO DATE... this abysmal, de-humanising cruelty and torture is being deliberately inflicted on innocent people. WHY? FEAR perhaps? I can't think of any other reason. Plain fear of others. The govt is a cunt, and it should be responsible for caring for these detainees ( prisoners). All the excuses made fall very flat. Mr Dutton would continue this as long as possible.

The world news is saying,, WELL forget about Australia, and Turnbull's policy... the govt has washed its hands of these people ( or are trying to) and so the obvious circumstances raise other options. FUCK AUSTRALIA, and DUTTON... they don't have a say. Nor should they. If any country offers to help, what is the problem? . BS rejecting NZ's offer... saying TRUMP will save it all. WHAT A FUCKING CROCK OF SHIT.

NOPE.. this issue is finally coming to a head. The govt cannot bury its head in the sand and pretend NO ONE is WATCHING. THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD now knows what fascists run this govt. SHAME AUSTRALIA. SHAME.

Do away with the Private Health Care rebate! If people want private health let them pay for it, no need for the government to!

Adjust the PAYE rates, Costello cut them too bloody much! Increase the tax free threshold so those on lowest incomes can have more spending money! Libs cut the rates/increase the threshold for the top rate but don’t care about the lowest rate.

Retirees on SMSF can damn well pay tax on their income like everybody else! A lot of the capital is government rebates which go to the top 20% by income!

Increase the award super rate to ease claims on the age pension.

Do away with the Jobs Network, restart the CES! As both jobseeker and employer I know the CES was good, Job Network was shit! When I went on the Invalid Pension I had to go to this mob to make me “work ready” and it was a total waste of time! As an employer I got a horde of semi qualified applicants for a vacancy from the Job Network, the CES would send over 2-3 qualified people!

Do away with most of the Work for the Dole etc. A Jobs Guarantee is good as long as workers comp, super and real wages are paid and meaningful training made available. Yes, there ARE bludgers! I used to rent rooms to them back in the 80s but why penalise EVERYBODY on the dole when there is so much un and underemployment about? Waste of money.

Living on the dole as a career isn’t much fun: share accommodation is needed so forget privacy, forget eating meat, dress yourself from opshops etc. Few chose it as a lifechoice so why act as if 100% do it?

Save a lot of money going to the top 20%, use some of that to increase NewStart by $50 or $100 a week. That will get spending started!

So scrolling I find this comment from HBS Guy. Pretty much all of that I agree with. Oh and I found the post made. Again HBS GUY (sigh)

These Lib pollies whining about the boats coming again. Bah! ASs now fly in on dodgy temporary work permits and disappear. They must know this, surely?

Of course they do. More illegals arrive by plane every frikkin' DAY, then ever arrived by boat. The Boat people are the most genuine in my view. They have risked EVERYTHING... and get locked up , to now die in isolation from neglect. What a horror.

N.z has their shit together dealing with global stuff so much better it makes me sad to be a Australian

Yes, well, Australia will certainly have to react after the offer of 150 that is for certain!

You can't have a situation where a government of a first world country lets people drink stagnant water... At least not in front of a global audience!

That would be bad optics!

Well all the Media, except SBS and some ABC content, are now ignoring the whole thing. Not a word . The protesters around the Melbourne Cup have more guts than most people. This is SO BAD, not just for the victims of illegal imprisonment, but our society.

Sadly the world chooses to look the other way on all sorts of inhumanity. Remember TIBET.?? Anyone?. Disgusting. We have no claims to having a decent society, and anyone who thinks everything is going to be fine, are insane. Which makes most of the human population, dysfunctional and barely civilised. Downhill all the way from here. Mother will take care of most of us, and the world will roll on without us.

There is a very dark side to our collective natures.

Unfortunately we can't save the world as individuals but we should expect some standards from our Governments!

WELL YES, we should. What gets me is once in power, all sorts of OTHER things take precedence for the pollies. LIKE keeping power, no matter what.
